FBI's Most Wanted Bin Laden: Officially No Hard Evidence Connecting Him to 9/11 - What's up with this picture? Something seriously stinks

FBI says, “No hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11”

June 6, 2006 – This past weekend, a thought provoking e-mail circulated through Internet news groups, and was sent to the Muckraker Report by Mr. Paul V. Sheridan (Winner of the 2005 Civil Justice Foundation Award), bringing attention to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist web page for Usama Bin Laden.[1] (See bottom of this web page for Most Wanted page) In the e-mail, the question is asked, “Why doesn’t Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster make any direct connection with the events of September 11, 2001?” The FBI says on its Bin Laden web page that Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. According to the FBI, these attacks killed over 200 people. The FBI concludes its reason for “wanting” Bin Laden by saying, “In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorists attacks throughout the world.”

On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters, (202) 324-3000, to learn why Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.”

Surprised by the ease in which this FBI spokesman made such an astonishing statement, I asked, “How this was possible?” Tomb continued, “Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9/11.” I asked, “How does that work?” Tomb continued, “The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice than decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, Bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connected Bin Laden to 9/11.”

It shouldn’t take long before the full meaning of these FBI statements start to prick your brain and raise your blood pressure. If you think the way I think, in quick order you will be wrestling with a barrage of very powerful questions that must be answered. First and foremost, if the U.S. government does not have enough hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11, how is it possible that it had enough evidence to invade Afghanistan to “smoke him out of his cave?” The federal government claims to have invaded Afghanistan to “root out” Bin Laden and the Taliban. Through the talking heads in the mainstream media, the Bush Administration told the American people that Usama Bin Laden was Public Enemy Number One and responsible for the deaths of nearly 3000 people on September 11, 2001. Yet nearly five years later, the FBI says that it has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.

Next is the Bin Laden “confession” video that was released by the U.S. government on December 13, 2001. Most Americans remember this video. It was the video showing Bin Laden with a few of his comrades recounting with delight the September 11 terrorist attacks against the United States. The Department of Defense issued a press release to accompany this video in which Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said, “There was no doubt of bin Laden’s responsibility for the September 11 attacks before the tape was discovered.”[2] What Rumsfeld implied by his statement was that Bin Laden was the known mastermind behind 9/11 even before the “confession video” and that the video simply served to confirm what the U.S. government already knew; that Bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

In a BBC News article[3] reporting on the “9/11 confession video” release, President Bush is said to have been hesitant to release the tape because he knew it would be a vivid reminder to many people of their loss. But, he also knew it would be “a devastating declaration” of Bin Laden’s guilt. “Were going to get him,” said President Bush. “Dead or alive, it doesn’t matter to me.”

In a CNN article[4] regarding the Bin Laden tape, then New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that “the tape removes any doubt that the U.S. military campaign targeting bin Laden and his associates is more than justified.” Senator Richard Shelby, R-Alabama, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said, “The tape’s release is central to informing people in the outside world who don’t believe bin Laden was involved in the September 11 attacks.” Shelby went on to say “I don’t know how they can be in denial after they see this tape.” Well Senator Shelby, apparently the Federal Bureau of Investigation isn’t convinced by the taped confession, so why are you?

The Muckraker Report attempted to secure a reference to the U.S. government authenticating the Bin Laden “confession video”, to no avail. However, it is conclusive that the Bush Administration and U.S. Congress, along with the dead stream media, played the video as if it was authentic. So why doesn’t the FBI view the “confession video” as hard evidence? After all, if the FBI is investigating a crime such as drug trafficking, and it discovers a video of members of a drug cartel opening talking about a successful distribution operation in the United States, that video would be presented to a federal grand jury. The identified participants of the video would be indicted, and if captured, the video alone would serve as sufficient evidence to net a conviction in a federal court. So why is the Bin Laden “confession video” not carrying the same weight with the FBI?

Remember, on June 5, 2006, FBI spokesman, Chief of Investigative Publicity Rex Tomb said, “The FBI has no hard evidence connecting Usama Bin Laden to 9/11.” This should be headline news worldwide. The challenge to the reader is to find out why it is not. Why has the U.S. media blindly read the government-provided 9/11 scripts, rather than investigate without passion, prejudice, or bias, the events of September 11, 2001? Why has the U.S. media blacklisted any guest that might speak of a government sponsored 9/11 cover-up, rather than seeking out those people who have something to say about 9/11 that is contrary to the government’s account? And on those few rare occasions when a 9/11 dissenter has made it upon the airways, why has the mainstream media ridiculed the guest as a conspiracy nut, rather than listen to the evidence that clearly raises valid questions about the government’s 9/11 account? Why is the Big Media Conglomeration blindly content with the government’s 9/11 story when so much verifiable information to the contrary is available with a few clicks of a computer mouse?

Who is it that is controlling the media message, and how is it that the U.S. media has indicted Usama Bin Laden for the events of September 11, 2001, but the U.S. government has not? How is it that the FBI has no “hard evidence” connecting Usama Bin Laden to the events of September 11, 2001, while the U.S. media has played the Bin Laden - 9/11 connection story for five years now as if it has conclusive evidence that Bin Laden is responsible for the collapse of the twin towers, the Pentagon attack, and the demise of United Flight 93?

Eight weeks after Mexican soldiers at a rural airport in the Yucatan discovered 5.5 tons of cocaine onboard an American-registered DC9 painted to resemble aircraft from the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security, Mexican and U.S. law enforcement officials seem no closer to publicly identifying either the owner of the plane, or the tons of cocaine.

Some suggest they may not be trying very hard. If true, this is yet another indication that suspicions of CIA involvement in the drug flight are on target. In fact, in the strange brew of companies through whose hands the twin DC9's have passed, we will soon see even more unmistakable signs of companies known to be CIA fronts and people considered to be Bush Family retainers.

Even so, our suggestion that CIA involvement in an imbroglio over 5.5 tons of cocaine led to Porter Goss’ surprise resignation as CIA Director just a few weeks later provoked someone to chastise us for not offering proof.

CIA involvement is the proof that Porter Goss, had been placed in an embarrassing and ultimately untenable position, and that he was sacked for committing what is regarded as the cardinal sin...

Goss, a spook extraordinaire since the Bay of Pigs fiasco, was (finally) caught holding.

"Starting at power forward for your American Drug Lords..."

Especially before the scandal potentially grows out of hand, this seems grounds for dismissal, even among the jaded keepers of well-tended Cayman Island accounts.

Losing 5.5 tons of cocaine on an airliner traceable to your Government Agency certainly does not appear to have been, for Mr. Goss, an especially good career move.

And there's potentially much worse to come... A probe into the tangled skein of companies and individuals in what has clearly been a continuing operation lasting at least a decade has revealed glimpses of what until now has been the most elusive species on Earth:

The American Drug Lords.

How is it possible that the owner of a DC9 airliner caught with 5 tons of cocaine can remain hidden for two months? The untimely bust came at a certain low ebb for the owner/operators of "Cocaine One." This favorable conjunction of the stars is about to allow a privileged glimpse into corruption so vast it can only be what Prof Peter Dale Scott called the "deep politics" of what sociologists refer to as "state-sponsored crime."

Pull up a chair.

Going way way wrong at the worst possible time

“The Feds have never wanted to clean up the sloppy way airplanes are registered,” one aircraft broker told us. “Registering a plane with the FAA is just a joke. They don’t even make you use a tax I.D. number or social security number to register a plane. You don’t even have to have your signature notarized."

"The result is that nobody can ever tell with any certainty what the hell is going on. Apparently that's the way they like it.”

Since April 11, the day things went way wrong in a small town in the Mexican state of Campeche, the mystery of the plane’s ownership has only deepened.

Recently the last registered American owner of the DC9, Frederic Geffon of Royal Sons Inc insisted he bore no responsibility at all for the plane’s recent misadventures.

In a May 5, 2006 interview with the Tampa Tribune following up a story they'd run the previous day, Geffon said he sold the plane 10 days before it was seized by Mexican authorities, to a man named Jorge Corrales, who he identified as a Simi Valley, Calif., aircraft broker.

But the MadCowMorningNews has learned that there is a problem with Geffon’s explanation: The California “aircraft broker” who Geffon says bought the aircraft(N900SA)—for resale to a client identified only as a “Venezuelan company”—does not appear to be in the business of buying and selling planes.

Tangled Web City, Next Exit

A LEXIS-NEXIS newspaper database search yielded no mention of Corrales and Associates. A Google search failed to find an aircraft broker named George or Jorge Corrales, or a Corrales and Associates.

A visit to the three major online venues used to sell airplanes confirmed the assertion… We could find no evidence indicating that Jorge “George” Corrales is an aircraft broker

A search for broker/dealers selling McDonnell Douglas DC9’s in California at The Controller, for example, reveals just three DC9’s for sale, from just two dealers.

An aircraft dealer at the Venice Airport told us, “There is a very small group of people involved in the market for jet airliners world-wide. If you had a party and invited every DC9 buyer in the world you could easily fit them all inside my hanger.”

OK Aviation is the listing broker for two of the three DC9’s currently for sale in California.

So we called OK Aviation's owner, Jack Kendall. He knew the other DC9 dealers in the state, he told us. No, he'd never heard of George Corrales or Corrales & Associates.

Maybe the paperwork is still in the mail

A search for aircraft brokers and dealers in California at Trade-A-Plane reveals no listing for Corrales & Associates. And it’s a free listing.

A check of ASO’s list of Southern California aircraft brokers and dealers turned up a Titan Aviation in San Diego, we were interested to learn, as well as an Air America Inc.

But no Corrales and Associates.

Frederic Geffon told the Tampa Tribune he sold “Cocaine One” to an aircraft brokerage which apparently doesn’t even exist.

The Tampa Tribune story quoted FAA spokesman Roland Herwig stating that the FAA received a copy of a letter from Royal Sons, dated April 7, asking that the plane be exported to Venezuela and that the FAA officially took Royal Sons' name off the books three days after the cocaine bust.

"We don't get involved with the sale of aircraft, only their registration or deregistration," Herwig told the Tribune.

Geffon himself, while insisting that the plane with 5.5 tons of coke wasn’t his, was otherwise suspiciously close-mouthed.

Who you gonna believe...Me? Or your lying eyes?

Apparently Geffon knows all the words to the hit song “It Wasn’t Me.”

But not much else... “Geffon provided the Tampa Tribune with a copy of what he says is a bill of sale he turned over to his title company,” the paper reported. “It had no information about the purchaser.”

Corrales contradicted this statement. He said that he did not know why Geffon claims not to know who purchased the DC-9. He said Geffon absolutely knew who had purchased the aircraft.

When people lie, its almost always for a reason...

“It was a Venezuelan company,” Corrales told the Tampa Tribune. “Royal Sons got a crew that flew the aircraft" to Venezuela, and obtained the permits needed to fly the plane out of the country.

Geffon denied it. He said he only "hired someone to find a flight crew to take it down there."

Frederic Geffon was having no trouble resisting the urge to fall all over himself clearing up any misunderstandings...

'Men in Europe' may be difficult to assemble all at once

"Geffon would not identify that individual, saying only that the man is in Europe and unavailable for comment,” the paper reported. “Corrales, who owns Corrales and Associates, disagrees.”

Although the paper didn’t say so, it was a classic Mexican stand-off.

And, as the Tampa Tribune’s Howard Altman noted wryly, the Federal Aviation Administration was not about to untangle the knot.

Still, compared with the little information which has managed to trickle out about the case, Altman's story contains a major scoop:

“A man in Europe unavailable for comment” has the answers to who owned the massive cocaine haul.

All we need do to find the owner of “Cocaine One” is take all the males on the European Continent, subtracting those who are available for comment, to give us the subset of "Men in Europe" in whose ranks today can almost certainly be found the man who knows who was using a DC9 tricked out to resemble a U.S. Government plane to smuggle tons of cocaine.

That was simple. All we need now is a stadium big enough to sort them all out.

I have no comment on my no comment

More bad news for the now rapidly-emerging official story: There is no Corrales & Associates in California.

The 'supposed' aircraft broker who bought the DC9 in the nick of time from people in St Petersburg FL has been “suspended” from operation for several years by the California Division of Corporations.

Thus, Corrales & Associates cannot legally do business in the state of California.

However, there is a Jorge Corrales, or rather a George Corrales, listed in the Simi Valley phone books. We phoned to ask if he had any proof that he buys and sells airplanes for a living.

“Mr. Corrales, we’ve been unable to find any evidence that you are in the business of buying and selling airplanes,” we began. “Can you point to anything to prove you are?”

“I have no comment at this time,” he told us tersely.

Why is that? Who did you sell the DC9 to in Venezuela?

“I can’t comment on that.”

“Aren’t you leaving yourself open to charges that you yourself may be involved in drug trafficking? If you get arrested for running 5 tons of cocaine...will you have a comment then?”

There was a loud click. The line went dead. We thought:

How very rude.

A murky mystery; A "great deal of concern"

Hovering at all times at the edge of the 5.5 ton cocaine scandal is the company responsible for painting twin DC9's in what clearly appears to have been a deliberate deception: SkyWay Aircraft.

Next we will learn about the founder of what became SkyWay Aircraft, Miami attorney Michael Farkas. But we can't resist teasing the story a little bit now.

Farkas, as you might well imagine, isn't just anyone... For example, he currently owns a North Miami company which wants to market Israeli antimissile defense systems to U.S. aircraft manufacturers, after obtaining rights to a system developed by a subsidiary of Israel Aircraft Industries, Israel's biggest defense contractor.

But before engaging in the popular sport of blaming the Jews it might be useful to recall that we've already seen Saudi billionaire Adnan Khashoggi's involvement. Oddly enough, fifteen of SkyWay Aircraft's biggest investors are from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. One of them even appears to be the head of the Kuwaiti National Guard.

While presiding over SkyWay’s bankruptcy, Federal Judge Paul M. Glenn said, "I have a great deal of concern about this case. There is a great deal we don't know."

Two years ago, Judge Glenn called this case "murky.”

Since then, very little appears to have changed.
